We were at this guesthouse for one day at the end of Aug during the Indonesia national long holiday. Most of the hotels and guesthouses in Tuk Tuk were fully booked in advance. This guesthouse charged us 5 times higher than normal. The guesthouse is far away from Tomok Jetty. We were first pleased by the owner to pick us... More

Booked this place after reading all the good reviews. Regretted staying here. Correspondance via email was slow. Though a pick-up was arranged by Thyesza guesthouse owner upon our arrival at Medan airport, an assigned driver who met us upon our arrival was trying to rip us off by asking for a much higher price than initially agreed upon with the...

We had a lovely stay with Thyesza in May - my husband, daughter and son-in-law. The location right on Lake Toba was beautiful. Thyesza and her family welcomed us and she spent time talking with us about the history and culture of the area. Meals were excellent! The rooms were delightful and the gardensand flowers on the grounds were so... More

I stayed 4 days at the end of my 5 month traveling in South-East Asia, to relax before I flew home and had a great time. The guesthouse hosts are trying to give you the a little bit the feeling like home, the food is great and they are very helpful with everything you planning to do on the island.... More

We moved to Thyesza after staying in Tuk Tuk to find a perfectly quiet place here. At the time of arrival we were the only guests. We enjoyed the peaceful and quiet ambience very much. It is owned by a very friendly and hospitable family, we immediately felt at home. The rooms are immaculate and have good beds! We had... More

Stayed at Thyesza's for about five days and has mixed review. First thing first - location. It's in a very tranquil part of toba called Ambarita (not Tuk Tuk as google earth shows). Good thing is the guest house has a very nice water front where you can sit and just watch time pass, the bad thing is it's absolutely... More

We had fantastic time at Thyesza. Mama Thyesza is a wonderful woman. She was so caring & warm when we got to her hotel at night (after long tiring day). She cooked WONDERFUL dinner. We decided to have dinner every night at the hotel, we had great meal everytime we were there. She is really taking care of her visitors.... More

We spent 3 Nights at Thyesza Guesthouse and really enjoyed it! The Toba lake is already a quite place, but if you want to be for yourself you don't go to the backpacker busy palce Tuk-tuk but to the Guesthouse Thyesza! You can swim alone on the large lake or have a delicious dinner, cooked by Ibu Thyesza. The Guesthouse... More

My hubby and I visited Samosir (may 2010) and had a awesome holiday staying at Thyesza Guesthouse. Thyesza is located next to the lake. You can practically just jump in for a swim. The water is clear and cool - wonderful to cool down on a hot day. In front of us is this massive volume of clear cool water... More
